Like any good nickname I didn't pick it myself, it was bestowed (bestown?) upon me by my first college roommate. Freshman year I got my first real girlfriend (this was before geeks were cool so it took awhile) and I took to staying up WAY too late. I could often be found during any break between classes and such during the day sleeping with my clothes on, on top of the covers, in our dorm room.

Roomie kicked the bed as hard as possible one afternoon and said, "SLOTHBOY! Get up and let's get something to eat." "Slothboy?" I asked groggily, "Why did you call me that?"

"Because you are sloth-like and sedentary," He said.

It stuck.
